Sailing Holidays Ltd - Sailing and Flotilla Sailing Holidays in Greece and Croatia
We were pretty new to sailing but had a wonderful time with Sailing Holidays and with great support from your team. I wish I had discovered these holidays years ago!
Just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had May 2009 on our very first time aboard. We were total novices but were made to feel so confident because of our excellent team Jamie,James and Brooke. Made some excellent friends and would say to anyone thinking of doing this, book it, it is just so much fun !!!!!

The 323s are terrfic boats for us and we are completely hooked having always liked the Jags and particularly the conversions. I suppose there is no going back! Loved the extra gadgets especially the wind instruments which were a revelation, super heads - no need to go ashore to shower, the fans, separate domestic battery and a working fridge. Brilliant! We are looking forward to bringing the first group of grandchildren next year.
Back a week now from a jag holiday out of Corfu. Just wanted to drop a quick line to say what a fantastic time was had and how well James, Jamie and Brook looked after everyone. Will certainly book again in the future.
Hi folks,
We've just got back from a fortnight in the Ionian on the Jaguar/Feeling flotilla led by James, Liam and Hannah. This was our twelfth trip with you - same route, same fortnight each year - and as usual we had a fantastic holiday. The lead crew was one of the best we've had; nothing was too much trouble for them, they always kept the 'This is your holiday, not ours' attitude.
Once again I felt that I should send you a personal note thanking you and your team for a superb holiday enjoyed by all 27 of our group. Many thanks, look forward to seeing you all next year.
We had a fabulous time and would like to say a big thank you to everyone, especially the crew of lead boat Kirki - Euka, Glenn and Fiona.
We hope to be back next year.
Hi, just a short note to say how much we enjoyed the week in the southern Ionian on yacht Mythos. Mythos is a joy to sail and is well equipped with plenty of room and a credit to your fleet.
We have all had the best holiday possible! We booked late 07/early 08 and have discussed this holiday over every family dinner until our departure. We are delighted to say it has without doubt lived up to and beyond all our expectations.
Barri, we would like to personally thank you & all the Sailing holiday people who made our flotilla such a great experience. We enjoyed it from the time spent helping to choose the holiday to our last step off the boat. Please pass on our thanks to Jim, Stephen & Grace. They set a relaxed feel to the holiday yet were there to assist when required.
Hi, we recently embarked on one of your flotila holidays. Just want to say what a fantastic time we had. 1st time for us but it wont be the last. The lead crew boat, Rob, Ryan and Cheree were great, couldn`t have been more helpful and good fun. Thanks for a fantastic holiday in the SUN !!!
I would like to say a big thank you for a fantastic holiday spent with you on the whole Ionian flotilla beginning on the 6th July. The lead crew of Rob, Ryan and Cherie couldn't have been more helpful and the beach party they organised was great fun. This is the second holiday we have taken with you and it definitely won't be our last. Thanks again.
We have returned from our flotilla holiday and I just wanted you to know that it was the most wonderful experience. We enjoyed every aspect and the lead crew (Rob, Ryan and Cherie) was fantastic. We just wish we could have continued on for the second week. We will definately be back on another flotilla with you as soon as we can.
Prior to the holiday, my wife was filled with trepidation. She is now a convert and we are looking forward to booking another holiday with your company ASAP. Again, many thanks for a great experience.
Just wanted to let you know we had the most amazing time, weather, food, sailing, company was all great, and a special mention for the amazing lead crew Rob, Ryan and Cherie who were fabulous company, highly competent and encouraging and who made our holiday an extra special experience. We will definitely return for another helping of Greek sailing very soon.
Just got back from a wonderful week on one of your new boats in Greece it goes too quickly when you're there is my only complaint. The good news is I am off again to Croatia on the 24th of May.
I can't wait to get back on the water
Best regards
We have just returned from the North-South Ionian Flotilla 04/05/08 to 11/05/08 where we sailed "Kalpaki" (Beneteau 323) on her maiden voyage! Fantastic boat - as you state "good heads and beds" handled well under sail and power, well laid out, comfortable and a nice touch with the GPS!
Just wanted to drop a line before our trip to Greece last week becomes a dim and distant memory to say thanks for a fabulous time sailing the Ionian.The lead crew (Jules, Dan & Clarkie) were great in being around whenever you needed them but also being so relaxed that you felt brave enough to try doing things for yourself knowing the motto that the people were more important than the yachts.Thanks again to all the crew - out in Greece and behind the scenes in London for making it the perfect tonic from City life!!!
We just wanted to write you a short note to say what a great time we'd had on the South/North Ionian Flotilla this August with Drew, Tracy and Jimmy. We got some great sailing in and really enjoyed exploring the islands including many places we hadn't been. We thought the lead crew did a really great job organising us all and in particular finding us spots each night and arranging the beach parties. We thought they couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We're now looking hard at the brochure again with next year in mind.

Just a small note to say that we had a wonderful time aboard Annabelle. The weather was very nice and the wind blew enough for us to get the sails out. This is the third time that I have sailed with your company and I hope to see you next year, the two lads that I introduced to sailing this year loved it and will I am sure be back.
I have just retruned from 2 glorious weeks sailing with your Ky-ra crew, Ewen, Dene and Jimmie. The crew were absolutely fantastic. The afternoon sailing was great, the mornings glorious and the cocktails rocked! Huge thanks to everyone for making it a very memorable holiday and a chill out that was really needed.
Just a note to say what another great holiday with Sailing Holidays, the crew were great and very professional they looked after us very well, Crazy A, Liz and Paul. This was our 4th time sailing with you and it just gets better. We have already booked again for this October 07. We will be looking at booking for next year very soon. See you at the boat show.

We had a wonderful holiday and want to let you know what a delightful and helpful crew looked after us - Sophia, Hollie and Jono of Loutraki are stars - just lovely people - kind, sweet natured, attentive and generally - good report!!
It was a fantastic experience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Met some great people on our particular flotilla and made many friends. We were extremely impressed with the Jag 27 C and albeit a little small, it was equiped with everything that we needed - and more besides.
Just a quick note to thank you for a absolutely fantastic holiday best ever, hope next year is as good already booked it. Once again thanks for a super relaxing holiday.
Thank you all so, so much for a fabulous 2 weeks on the Ionian flotilla. Drew, Tracey and Jimmy you were absolutely FANTASTIC - I cannot thank you enough for the all the help, advice, support and above all laughs that we have had over the last 2 weeks.
It was our first time sailing - and thanks to the three of you, I'd like to say - certainly not our last!

We returned from our two week Whole Ionian sailing holiday on the 15th July 2007. We would just like to express our thanks to Drew, Traci and Jay, who were outstanding as a lead crew, both very sociable and competent. The lead crew made our sailing days a complete joy and helped us no end, especially with mooring. The route they chose for us to sail was both diverse and beautiful each and everyday. In addition to this, we spent many late nights with the lead crew and felt truly welcomed by them. Although only in their mid 20s they had wisdom beyond their years. Great Holiday one of the best, Thanks again.
Simon, Anne, Sarah and Jennifer Wadsworth, July 2007
Just returned from a fantastic two weeks on the Whole Ionian in a Beneteau 36. This was a first time sailing for the 4 of us and it could not have been better. I was impressed with the helpfulness of the office staff in booking and handling any queries we had. The boat was great, although we already have our eyes on one of the bigger ones for the next time. We just had to write to tell you how fantastic our lead crew were, Drew, Jay and Anna could not be faulted. We also found we had great companions on the other boats and everyone was willing to give us a few words of advice or a helping hand. We are truly hooked now, and are looking forward to another holiday with you in the future.
Pat and Dave Cross, Terry Ridler and Linda House, July 2007
It has now been a few weeks since we stepped off our Jaguar 27, and we would like to thank you all for the most enjoyable holiday we have ever had. It was completely hitch-free - from the flight over to the boat and the sailing. We feel it is a far better way of taking prozac!!!
We just wanted to say a very big thank you for the most fantastic holiday we have ever had. The boat was a delight and we cannot praise our lead crew - Drew, Jay and Anna - highly enough. You clearly have friends in high places as you arranged for the weather to be perfect. Thanks again for the experience of a lifetime. We hope to holiday with you again soon.
I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time. We did not have any sailing experience apart from completing a 2 day RYA course 2 weeks before our holiday. This was a fantastic opportunity for me and Paul, something we have always wanted to do and a great way to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We have both got sailing 'bug' and cannot stop reflecting on the many exciting times we had. I am sure we will be sailing with you again in the near future.
We were pretty new to sailing but had a wonderful time with Sailing Holidays and with great support from your team. I wish I had discovered these holidays years ago!
